Objective:In order to understand the prevalence and related risk factors of metabolic syndrome(MS)among urban
residents of Zhaotong City, and to provide references for the prevention and treatment of MS. Methods: People taking physical
examination in the hospitals were selected as the research objects, and the required data were collected to statistically analyze the
prevalence and related risk factors of MS. Results: The overall prevalence of MS was 9.99%. 13.37% for males and 5.14% for females,
and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The proportion of dyslipidemia was the highest(45.01%)among the research
object. The combination of overweight and/or obesity, hypertension, and dyslipidemia was the highest in the expression of MS, which
was 40.11%. Except urea, other factors including gender, age, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, blood
glucose, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, uric acid, and MS prevalence differences all had statistic
significance(P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that male, age, LDL, and uric acid were risk factors for MS.
Conclusion: Although the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in urban residents of Zhaotong City is relatively low, it is still necessary to
actively control various risk factors through screening in the early stages and formulating targeted and individualized measures so as to
improve patients' quality of life.
